Grade Level: K-2, 3-5

  • Students stand 10-15 feet away from a partner, depending on skill level, with a hula-hoop in the middle of them.
  • Bean bags are placed about 10-15 feet behind each line of students, with poly spots scattered in between students and bean bags.
  • On a signal, students will hop from poly spot to poly spot and grab a bean bag behind them. They then hop on the poly spots back to their starting position.
  • Students will underhand throw the bean bag to their partner. If the partner catches it, they will place it in the hula-hoop.
  • The other partner will now hop and grab a bean bag from behind them. They now must throw and catch the bean bag 2 times in a row before putting it in the hula-hoop.
  • Partners alternate getting bean bags as they attempt to toss and catch 3, 4, 5, etc. times consecutively.
  • If a miss occurs, partners must start over.
